A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA APPROVING
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 46879
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and
determine as follows:
a. An application for Tentative Tract Map 46879 was filed by Jim
and Rita Chatterley (the "applicant") on March 10, 1989. The
property for which this application has been filed is a
ten -acre parcel located at 24766 Golden Oak Lane, Assessor's
Parcel No. 2834-029-016, Santa Clarita. The purpose of this
tentative tract map application is to create three (3) single
family lots on the subject property.
b. The City of Santa Clarita Development Review Committee (DRC)
met on April 13, 1989, and supplied the applicant and the
applicant's agent with information relating to this case.
C. Duly noticed public hearings were held on the application by
the Planning Commission on January 2, 1990, and August 21,
1990, and by the City Council on March 13, May 22, August 28,
September 11, and September 25, 1990 at the City Council
Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, at 6:30
p.m.
SECTION 2. Based upon the testimony and other evidence
received at the public hearing, and upon studies and investigation
made by the City Council and on its behalf, the Council further finds
and determines as follows:
a. This Tract map is fo
property, consisting
Agricultural Zone in
development of three
approximately 10 acr
constructed recently
c the subdivision of the subject
of one property in the A-1-1 Light
the City of Santa Clarita for the
(3) single-family residences on
as, including one single-family residence
on Lot 1.
b. The City is proceeding in a timely fashion with the
preparation of a general plan. There is a reasonable
probability that this project will be consistent with the
general plan proposal which will be studied within a
reasonable time. There is little or no probability of
substantial detriment to or interference with the future
RESO 90-184
CMK:65
,... adopted general plan if this project is ultimately inconsistent with
the plan. This project complies with all applicable requirements of
state law and local ordinances.
C. Although the City of Santa Clarita has not adopted the Santa Clarita
Valley Area Plan as prepared by Los Angeles County, the proposed
subdivision is consistent with the Area Plan designation of HM
(Hillside Management, which allows a range of 1.24 and 5.53
residential units for this property) and W (Watershed).
d. The site is physically suitable for the type of proposed development
and density since the site has, or will have as a result of
conditions imposed by this resolution, proper access, proper water
system facilities, proper drainage and consistency with the
densities and uses specified in the Zoning Ordinance.
e. The development of the property in the manner set forth on the
subject Tract map will not unreasonably interfere with the free and
complete exercise of the public entity and/or public utility rights-
of-way and/or easements within the Tract map.
f. Implementation of this proposal will cause no adverse effects in the
environment which cannot be adequately mitigated through the
application of available controls. The design and improvement of
this subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage or
..-. substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat, because the site is not within a sensitive habitat area and
all potential impacts are either insignificant or have been
mitigated to insignificant levels through the project's conditions
of approval, as noted in the environmental review section of the
staff report.
g. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not
cause serious public health problems, since sanitary requirements,
geologic hazards, expansive properties of soils, sheet overflow and
ponding conditions as well as contributory drainage from adjoining
properties will be mitigated (through the project's conditions of
approval) prior to the issuance of building permits.
h. The design of the subdivision and the proposed locations of building
pads provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision.
i. The proposed subdivision does not contain or front upon any public
waterway, river, stream, coastline, shoreline, lake or reservoir.
j. The housing needs of the region were considered and balanced against
the public service needs of local residents.
�- k. No discharge of waste from the subdivision into an existing
community sewer system will occur which would result in a violation
of existing requirements prescribed by a California Regional Water
Quality Control Board. The site has been approved for private
septic systems by the Los Angeles County Department of Health
Services.
RESO 90-184
CMR:65
1. The design and improvement of the subdivision will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or
use of property within the proposed subdivision, because all such
easements have been required in the conditions of approval to be
incorporated into public street or equestrian trail dedications.
SECTION 3. The City of Santa Clarita City Council has reviewed and
considered the environmental information contained in the Initial Study, and
determines that it is in compliance with CEQA and that the proposed project
will not have a significant impact on the environment. A negative declaration
was prepared for this project. Based upon the findings stated above, the City
Council hereby approves the negative declaration.
SECTION 4. Based on these findings, the City Council hereby
approves the Negative Declaration and Tentative Tract Map 46879, Exhibit "A",
subject to the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated
herein by reference allowing the creation of three lots for single-family
residences as set forth in Section 22.24.070 of the Santa Clarita Municipal
Code.
SECTION 5. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this
Resolution and shall transmit a copy to the applicant, the Department of
Public Works, and the Community Development Department.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 13th doav of November, 1990.
